Cannot get a SIMPLE HISTOGRAM to plot in Python 3.7 Notebook


Below is the error code I received as I am trying to do a Histogram from the DF "code" and the column ("Age")

code['Age'].plt.hist()
1
code['Age'].plt.hist()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 1 code['Age'].plt.hist()

~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\generic.py in __getattr__(self, name)
   5177             if self._info_axis._can_hold_identifiers_and_holds_name(name):
   5178                 return self[name]
-> 5179             return object.__getattribute__(self, name)

AttributeError: 'Series' object has no attribute 'plt'

Solution

  • Use the hist function directly from matplotlib:

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    
    plt.hist(code['Age'])
    plt.show()
    

    This should work. You can also do:

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    
    code['Age'].hist()
    plt.show()
